The Cleveland Browns made one of the worst trades in NFL history three years ago, trading three first-round picks, one third-round picks and two fourth-round picks to Houston for for quarterback Deshaun Watson , who was dealing with multiple sexual assault lawsuits (at the time, he'd just avoided a criminal indictment). The team then handed Watson a fully-guaranteed $230 million deal over five years. Watson had missed all of 2021 due to these allegations and was then suspended 11 games to start 2022, his first year in Cleveland.

The decision has backfired tremendously, even from just an on-field perspective. Watson has never looked like the guy he was in Houston, and he's played seven games of fewer each of his first three years in Cleveland due to either suspension or injury.
